Well, both are 100 pct in the pocket so the only possible answer is a third entity which is highly unlikely.

I don't think it's outright corruption so much as quid quo pro. Think about PRISM and other such things. US tech companies operate globally, hoover up a vast amount of personal information, and pass it all right along to the US intelligence agencies.

So the more intrusive and vast these companies become, the more the US intelligence apparatus gains from it. Polls consistently there's extremely high levels of concern about what companies are doing what people's information, and we have a million 'real life' privacy laws. The complete absence of anything meaningful on the digital front, from either party, is highly conspicuous.

This is a very reasonable take. No idea why this has been downvoted, besides possible the hordes of (ex-)big tech employees here who just can't come to terms with their (ex-)employers being about as ethical as those they like to think of as beneath them.

Biden appointed Lina Khan. "Both parties are the same" is lazy and unhelpful.

It's wiser to judge the parties by actions rather than rhetoric. From both parties there has been complete absence of meaningful action on the issue, even though both have regularly cycled through complete control of government with majorities in the house and senate while also holding the presidency.

Saying that I said both parties are the same is far lazier.
